Special Statement

Statement as of 8:59 AM EDT on May 20, 2013

Expires 11:00 AM EDT on May 20, 2013


... Showers and thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall will affect
Buchanan... Dickenson... Logan... McDowell... Mingo and Wyoming
counties...

At 849 am EDT... showers and thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall
were located over the area... moving southeast at 15 mph.

These showers and thunderstorms are producing rainfall amounts of up
to an inch in an hour. Low lying areas and poor drainage areas will
be affected as these storms pass over the area. Small streams and
ditches will fill fast and may spill over onto roadways.

This will also impact the following major Road... Route 119 between
mile markers 1 and 39.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to travel across
flooded roads. Find alternate routes. It takes only a few inches of
swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away.

You may report significant weather by posting your report to the
Charleston West Virginia National Weather Service facebook Page... or
by using the twitter hashtag... nwsrlx.
